Application filed January to, 19%.

Une of the objects of this invention is to provide it jetty unit of the kind described with novel means for holding the connecting bracing members from longitudinal slippage with respect to the bars.

A further object of my invention 18 to provide a jetty unit of the kind described which is simple, cheep to melre, durable,

strong, not liable to get out of order, one in which the parts may be easily and quickly assembled, and which is eficient in opera tion.

A further object of my invention is the provision oat novel means for securely fastening s flexible member, such as e wire or or cable to a. metal bar so as to hold the member from leiwthwise slipping, without twisting it around the bar and without the use of accessory securin, devices.

The novel features 0 my invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the eccompenyin drawing, which illustrates the preferrei' embodiment of my invention,

Fig. 1 is s perspective iew-of my improved jetty unit. I

Fig. 2 is a. top view thereof.

3 is a cross section on the line 3-73 of Fig. 4,

Fig. 42 is an enlarged elevation of s portion of one of the crossed hers, end a sectional view on the line tr-doi Fig. 3 ct portions of two of the flexible members engeging said her.

Eiimiler reference cherectersf' designete similer ports in the different views.-

.1 and 2 designete two crossed angle bars tion by at single bolt 8, end disposed at right angles to each other.

4i designates e third engleber disposed at right engles to the here 1 end 2 and test fastened together et their place of imtersectierlal Il'o. senses.

ened to the her flat the place of intersection with said her bye single bolt 5, Fig. 2.

Each of the bars 1, 2 end t, has each of its flanges provided at each side of its place of intersection with the other bars with a. laterally off-set tongue 6 cut from the longitudinal edge of the flange near the to adjacent end thereoi, the tongue extending laterally outwardly from the flange and then parallel with the flange and spaced apart therefrom.

7, 8 and 9 desi nate three flexible bracing as members, prefers 1y three wires formed into three loops, each loop being disposedsubstantmlly in e. plane at right angles to the planes of the other two loops.

The flexible bracing member 7,.is extended w between the tongues 6 of the bars 1 and 2 and the bodies of said hers at right angles to the edges of the tongues and adjacent edges of the bars respectively.

The ends of the bracing member 7 are twisted together at 10.

The flexible bracing member 8 in like mannerengages the other two tongues of the other flange of eachof the bars at end 2, the endlslof the member 8 being twisted together ml at The flexible bracing member 9- engeges the tongues 6 of the other flange oi each of the members at end 1, theends oi the member 9 being twisted together at 12.

As is best shown in Figs. 3 end t, each of the flexible bracing members is provided between .eech tongue 6 which. it engages and the adjeoent bar with two points of contact between which the flexible member is pro- Q9 'vided with a reverse bend 13, which holds the flexible member from longitudinal slippa ge. The flexible bracing members thus securely hold the hers in their proper posh tion, when only one bolt is used to fasten to ether any two of the bars.

38y heving the flexible bracing members disposed st right on les to and between the adjacent edges of t e tongues 6 end the hers, it very strong structure is edorded and the flexible members are grinned- ,very tightly.

To one end of one of the bnrsgsnch'es the her 4, mey be fastened in any suitable manner it metal ring 14:, to which may be will ettsched on anchoring eeble, not shown.

I do not limit my invention to the structure shown and described, as many modifications, within the scope of the appended claims, may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

What I claim is 1. In a jetty, a jetty unit comprising two crossed bars fastened together at their place of intersection, and a flexible bracing member engagin each of said bars at opposite sides of said place of intersection, each of said bars having at the place of its engagement with said flexible bracing member two points of contact with said member, the latterbeing reversely bent between said points, whereby said member is held from ongitudinal slippage.

2. In a jetty, a jetty unit comprising crossed bars fastened together at their place of intersection, each bar having at each side of said place of intersection a laterally oil-set tongue out from one edge of the bar, and a flexible bracing member extended between and at right an ice to the adjacent edges of each tongue an the body of each bar and having a bend between said tongue and body.

3. In a jetty, a jetty unit comprising three crossed bars, two of which are at right angles to each other, the third being at right angles to the other two, said bars being fastened together at their place of intersection, a flexible bracing member en aging each of two of said bars at opposite sides of said place of intersection, and a second flexible bracing member engaging the other bar and oneof said two bars at opposite sides of said place of intersection, each of said bars having means for holding the flexible member engaged by it from longitudinal slippage.

4. In a jetty, a jetty unit comprising three crossed bars, each being at right angles to the other two, said bars being fastened together at their place of intersection, each bar having at each side of the place of intersection a. laterally ofi-set tongue out from one edge of the bar, the flexible bracing member extended between and at right angles to the adjacent edges of each tongue and body of each of two of the bars and a second flexible bracing mem her extended between and at right angles to the adjacent edges of each tongue and body of the third bar and of one of the other two bars, each flexible member having a bend between each tongue and body of each bar engaged by it.

5. In a jetty, a jetty unit comprising three crossed angle bars, each bein at ri ht angles to the other two, said bars being as tened together at their place of intersection, each flange of each angle bar having at each side of the place of intersection a leterally off-set tongue out from the edge of the bar, and three flexible bracin members, each dis osed substantially at right angles to the ot er two, and each flexible member being extended between and at right angles to the adjacent edges of two oppositely disposed tongues of each of two of the bars, each flexible member having a bend between each tongue engaged by it and the bar from which said tongue is out.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.-
